Nathan, Hi. Now I'm even more confused... OK, so I did the 'shutdown -Fr now' and let things proceed. fsck said it found one inode that should 2 but was 1 so it corrected it, rebooted another time and then came up fine. Everything was automatic. I didn't do anything other than start the process. At this point I did another emerge -Uv world, which is what I was doing earlier. Things progress along for a while and then I get the same error again: !!! ERROR: There appears to be FILE SYSTEM CORRUPTION. A file that is listed as existing is not capable of being stat'd. If you are using an experimental kernel, please boot into a stable one, force an fsck, and ensure your filesystem is in a sane state. 'shutdown -Fr now' File: /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.0-r12/image/usr/share/man/man3/Hash::Util.tmp' Wizard root # Indeed, the offending file both seems to be there, in the sense that there's a name when I do an ls, but also not there in the sense that it says no such file or directory.

Is this a problem with my system? Is this some sort of strange portage problem? Could this have been left over from the previous time? I'm very confused!
